Is it too early?

I'm looking at the "early bird booking" with the $500.00 credit, and room upgrade am wondering if anyone else has booked as far away as Nov. 2011? We go the same week every year for the same week and with the love away plan it would be pretty painless.

NEVER too early, especially if you are only booking the hotel portion, because you can cancel without penalty. I've booked twice with couples over a year in advance and both times watched the prices over the next year to make sure I got the best deal and both times, there was never a better price to be had. My first trip (which I had to cancel d/t divorce) was booked 11 mo in advance, and my new FIRST trip that is coming up this June was booked LAST april.. so 14 mo in advance. I say, if the prices are offered, especially with the ability to cancel.. put down that deposit! so much fun planning and daydreaming about that day... and then, it'll be here before you know it (ok, not really.. but time does go faster than you expect. I can't believe my vacation is now only 3 mo away! especially after my first vacation was booked back in summer of 06--the one I didn't get to go on---so.. it's been 4 long years of daydreaming and waiting!)

one recommendation though.... whenever I Book air, especially far in advance, I get travel insurance with cancel-for-any-reason coverage, and I've had to use it.... getting our entire 6K back for that last vacation we didn't take.

We are booking for Dec.2011 in a couple of weeks. I just have to book the family summer vacation this weekend first. The kids want to know why our Dec 2010 is booked already and not the summer vacation, so booking 2011 before the 2010 family summer vacation would not be cool. It is a great deal with the $500. credit.

We booked 3 trips for 2011! So excited. If something comes up before the final payment...46 days before departure, you can get your money back. We booked X-mas 2011 @ Cn as are final trip in 2011. Now we have so much to look forward to!
